Cleaning advice from my clients and my Dad. His advice: Do the simplest thing first to solve a problem. Start with over-the-counter denture tablets. Double the concentration if you don’t see results in a week; it won’t hurt the plastics or metal. Use a soft sponge or cloth to remove debris, not a toothbrush or toothpaste. In the lab, I use a small disposable bristle brush. No knives or sandpaper to scrape stuff off. Put a facecloth in the sink just in case you drop them. Beware of homemade remedies; no bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Contact us for all your denture needs.

Summer is here, and we are ready! It is a time to celebrate the joy of being alive and the pleasure of gathering with friends. Is there something holding you back from really celebrating? Are you ready to release a few pounds? When you release trapped emotions around food, the result is a lower number on your scale. A Certified Body/Emotion Code Practitioner can help you release those negative emotions that cause you to eat unhealthy foods.

Home ownership and property taxes are becoming more expensive. Until recently, seniors had the option to defer their property taxes for a relatively low interest rate. That has now changed with the rate increasing to Prime Rate +2%. Coupled with the increase in property taxes, this can add up to a high extra cost. Instead of deferring property taxes, you can pay them and yourself with a Home Equity Solution. With the significant appreciation in home values over the past few years, we now have more equity in our houses to use and enjoy. Contact me today to find out more.

“I had a non-emergency condition that required quick medical attention. I saw a pamphlet for a partnership between Avee Health and the Medicine Shoppe stating that I could access a doctor fast. I called the Medicine Shoppe and they told me that a BC trained physician would call me within 30 minutes. The call came in 20 minutes; I described my condition; the doctor diagnosed it and sent a prescription to the Medicine Shoppe for me to pick up or have delivered free of charge. The prescription was ready for me in under an hour. I highly recommend this amazing service.”

Recent research (2025–2026) indicates that acrylic resin dentures release microplastics (MPs) into the mouth during daily cleaning, brushing, and eating. The quantities during normal wear are relatively low. While this exposure is currently considered minimal compared to other environmental sources, denture wearers should follow professional recommendations to maintain and replace dentures regularly to help prevent excessive wear and material degradation. I recommend: avoid overly aggressive brushing, ensure regular repair, maintenance and replacement of the dentures to help reduce the rate of material degradation and subsequent particle release.

It typically affects one ear. *Research also suggests that untreated hearing loss may contribute to cognitive decline and dementia. Addressing hearing changes early and seeking appropriate treatment can play an important role in maintaining overall health and well-being.
